The idea is that the visitors have no play to make, and walk off the field.
You have to know that baseball is played by two teams.
The home team--playing in its own stadium--bats second in every inning, including the ninth inning; which will be the last inning played if one team has more runs than the other team by the end of that inning.
If the home team and the visiting team are tied in runs scored at the end of nine innings played, extra innings are played one by one until at the end of any one inning, one team has scored more runs than the other team can match.
The point is, only the home team's hitters can hit a
'walk off" home run, since they get their at bats last.
So even if a visiting team's player hit a home run to put his team ahead during the top or first half of the ninth, or of any extra inning past that, the home team would still get a chance to bat and perhaps tie or win the game.
And what the term means is: During the last inning, the score has to be tied until the bottom (last half) of the ninth inning or some extra inning; or the visiting team can even have as many as three more runs than the home team has scored by then. But if some one player on the home team hits a home run scoring enough men ahead of him plus himself to put his team ahead at any time in that inning, whether there are none out, one or two, his team automatically wins the game on his homer.
So they get to "walk off" the field without finishing that inning, leaving as the winners because of the home run that was hit.
